“The Kingdom of Heaven is near! Repent and believe this good news.” These are the first words Jesus preached according the Mark’s gospel. Which of course raises all kinds of questions. Questions like:
Is this David’s son?
Will he restore the fortunes of Israel?
When will he take the throne?
These questions and more swirled around Jesus in a time when the expectancy of the people were at an all time high. They had waited, hope and longed for this day. And now it was here. Jesus had come to fulfill the vocation given to Israel, but it was not what everyone expected it would be. It would be far more, but it would be sure to disappoint many.
